About Emily
Emily Collings is an LCPC and an LPC based in Pennsylvania with four years of clinical experience. Emily describes themself as queer and trans affirming, neurodiversity affirming, fat affirming, and aligned with disability justice. They work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, eating and body image concerns, trauma, and anger.
Emily draws on person-centered work and feminist ideas to guide sessions. That means conversations focus on the individual’s values and lived experience. Emily aims to help people notice how societal pressures or internalized messages affect how they feel and behave.
Cognitive and behavioral tools are used alongside acceptance-focused strategies. Clients may practice skills to manage strong emotions, notice patterns that lead to snapping or resentment, and try small experiments to shift unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness-based techniques are offered to help with distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Sessions also make room for identity-related concerns. Emily regularly supports people working through gender and sexuality questions, neurodivergent experiences, and challenges around body image and eating. Conversation can include practical advocacy skills and ways to reduce the impact of stigma.
Practical elements such as creative expression, self-compassion exercises, and everyday problem solving are woven into sessions when helpful. Emily invites collaboration on goals and encourages concrete steps clients can try between meetings. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Emily commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and to practice small, values-based actions even when feelings are uncomfortable. DBT-informed techniques focus on skills like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication for handling anger or intense reactions.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Emily will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She checks in about what helps, what feels useful, and adjusts strategies together as needed.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose sessions that match their energy - for example, less camera time when that feels better or a focused skills session during a lunch break. These practical benefits can help people practice new ways of handling anger and stress in everyday routines.
